Kings For Wright

You may remember Larry Wright from the 2012 World Series of Poker where he won his first bracelet in Event 30: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball. Wright had a fantastic showing at the WSOP and is looking to continue his tournament dominance today.

We found Wright in the big blind facing a raise to 400 from an early position raiser. Wright dipped into his chip stack and came out with a three-bet to 1,100. His opponent called and the flop came {J-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Wright fired a continuation bet of 1,300 and his opponent thought for a moment before folding his hand.

"An ace always comes," Wright said. "It always comes."

Wright showed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Regardless of the ace on the flop, he was able to take down the pot and increase his stack to about 20,500.
